I watched half of it but my blood pressure was probably through the roof watching it so I deleted it.

What a pile of c*** that was. So totally biased. How can they make such a general sweeping statement 'Diets dont work' Bottom line is stick to them and diets DO work. Its what you do when you come off them that determines the long term success.

I agree that 'diets' don't work. The ONLY thing that works long term is a commitment to change. That may start off with a diet but ultimately you have to follow that up with a lifestyle or it WILL fail. You can diet for 6 months and lose 4 stone but if after that 6 months you revert back to how you were before it will all go back on again. In that instance the 'diet' won't have worked.

I personally hate the word diet as it implies a short term solution to a long term problem. I much prefer a lifestyle to a diet
